Recycling Strategies, outlook and equipment need to Improve

We have been recycling metal since the discovery of metal; and everyone has been following the same policies when it comes to the same, since its discovery. Back then, concepts of pollution, population and demand in markets did not even exist. Today’s day and age demands for answers from everything from where the materials for a particular product or piece of machinery can be sourced from, right down to what happens to such machinery when it reaches the end of its workability. Without these strategies and plans set in place, no manufacturer would even dare introduce a product or brand; more so with the increasing norms and environmental restrictions put in place by local and government authorities.

Metal recycling has not changed since the time people and metal traders in Dubai began conducting the business with an eye on the high profits that it reaped. The reason for this is simple yet inevitable because the materials that are being used today to build products and create towering structures that touch the sky haven’t seen any sort of a revelation. For us to change our recycling strategies, outlook and equipment, it is essential that we begin developing and using newer materials. Materials, that are environmentally friendly; light when it comes to transportation and yet stronger than steel. Moreover, such materials should be easier to create and be available in the plentiful. Recycling channels would automatically fall in place and it would be even better if everything was made of the same material; only moulded differently. Recycling such a material would be easy and would consume minimal energy simply because of the fact that it was designed from the ground up for the sake of recycling.The world is changing and so are our needs in terms of demand and supply. Now is the time to throw out the old and move in with the new before it is too late and we become slaves and fall victim to our very own creations. Clean energy and the use of natural materials seem to be the only way out and the only direction to step into the future.
